Welcome to this week's Sunday/Monday Post, where I will be linking up to:

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
The biggest news of excitement around here was that I spend Friday with my brother and his family at an amusement park. Had lots of fun on the rides, but unfortunately, I lost my dark glasses on the last ride. They aren't prescription glasses and I hadn't spent much money on them. But the style I like to wear is hard to find these days, so that will be the hardest part of replacing them.
But other than that, it was a successful day. We hit all the rides we wanted to and had plenty of fun along the way.
I also played ultimate Frisbee this morning for the first time in a long time. Like at least a year. I had lots of fun. And I only had two missed connections all day, which is great for me. I'd argue one wasn't my fault, and my brother and I are sharing blame on the second one.

Book Haul:
Would you believe I only have two books to talk about this week? I don't either.
The first is Murder at Crossways by Alyssa Maxwell. This is book seven in the Gilded Newport Mysteries, which just happens to be the next in the series I need to read. I'm not sure when I will get to it, but I'm hoping it will be soon.
The other book is the next in Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn and Chee series, Talking God. I was a little surprised to see I am up to book nine when I looked it up just now. Anyone I got this one from the library. I know I'll be listening to it soon.
What I'm Currently Reading:
As I type this, I'm working on A Taste for Murder by Matt Baker. I'd debated long and hard before I requested an ARC of this book, and I'm kind of regretting that I did. It's a long book, and the writing style is using one of my pet peeves. I'm only about a quarter into it, so hopefully, I'll find myself fully invested in it before I reach the end. I do find it compelling when I sit down to read it, so there is that. We'll see what I think of it when I am done.
Have a great week!
Nice that you spent time with family at the amusement park! Sadly, we are stuck indoor during a nasty period of bad air from smoke coming from Canada and the Northwest. I'm hoping it will slowly dissipate.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a fun day with your family, even if losing your sunglasses was disappointing! I hope you find another pair you love, and enjoy your upcoming reads. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I went to an amusement park, but it was probably Astroworld when I was a teen! We did have a great time. One of these days maybe I'll go to another. It sounds like you had a fantastic time (except for the loss of the sunglasses.)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun activity filled week there. I do love ultimate frisbee especially if you play on a good interactive team. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are enjoying your summer, I hope you find some replacement sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteOne hundred and still driving is an impressive feat.
Thanks for sharing your week, happy reading!
I love going to amusement parks!
